Abstract

The article examines the main diegetic and thematic constants in Elsa Morante’s early works. The first paragraph dwells upon the reasons why for a long time critics paid little attention to the texts that Morante published between 1931 and 1942. After the second paragraph is aimed at illustrating the methodological and chronological coordinates of the study, the third analyses diegetic memory and metanarration in young Morante. Eventually the forth paragraph analyses the recurrence of objects and themes, such as the theme of dream.
